How are prices influenced?
Der Preis dürfte von 11,39 ct/kWh auf etwa 9,4 ct/kWh sinken. Dieser Rückgang ist gut erklärbar, weil in der aktuellen Woche mehr preisdämpfender Einfluss durch erneuerbare Energien und eine geringere Nachfrage durch den Feiertag zu erwarten ist. Besonders zur Mittagszeit sorgt Solarstrom häufiger für Entlastung, während zeitweise kräftigerer Wind zusätzlich teure konventionelle Kraftwerke aus der Preisbildung drängen könnte. Gleichzeitig bleiben Gas- und CO₂-Kosten ein stabilisierender Faktor, vor allem in den Abendstunden und bei schwächerer Solarproduktion. Insgesamt spricht die Kombination aus mehr erneuerbarer Einspeisung, feiertagsbedingt geringerer Last und weiterhin erhöhten fossilen Grenzkosten für einen spürbaren, aber nicht extremen Rückgang gegenüber der Vorwoche.
Note: All electricity prices exclude grid fees, levies, and taxes.

    Ostrom is the only energy provider that has the same incentives as you — to use less electricity! With our flat 6 € basic fee, we earn the same from a small flat as from a large house. Therefore, unlike every other energy provider, we genuinely want you to use less electricity.Oh yeah, and we have our top-rated app... and our incredible customer support... and our smart integrations... and our certified green energy...

  • #2 I still have my contract period with my old provider. Do I have to wait? (Not at all!)

    No, there’s no need to wait! Even if your current contract has up to 12 months remaining, you can sign up early with Ostrom today. Just sign up now, and we’ll take care of the rest — once your existing contract ends according to pre-agreed terms, we will seamlessly switch you to Ostrom.

  • #3 What is the difference between the SimplyFair and SimplyDynamic tariffs?

    SimplyFair: Our original transparent tariff for all! Easily add meter readings to track your consumption on our app. Energy prices track the market prices on a monthly basis. In fact, in the last 2 years we’ve already decreased prices seven times!

    SimplyDynamic: Our smart-meter compatible tariff! For those customers who already have a smart meter, automatically see your energy consumption on an hourly basis. This means you can take advantage of low prices when the sun shines or the wind blows!Both have all the great features for all Ostrom customers: risk-free monthly cancellable contract, all the features of the Ostrom App (smart home integrations, referrals, perks, CO2 tracking, Ostrom Store, live customer chat & more!)

  • #4 I'm worried about price changes. What do they look like at Ostrom?
    Decorative graphic

    While energy prices change often, our SimplyFair tariff removes that complexity for our customers. It's the perfect balance between dynamic prices that change hourly and 24-month contracts that keep you locked in to a high price (think households in 2025 still paying 2022 prices).We truly stick to our electricity-at-fair-prices model. This means that unlike our competitors whose prices mostly only go up, we even pass on decreases as well. Since our monthly fixed fee means we do not profit from price increases, increases only happen when market prices change significantly, such as during the energy crisis a few years ago. However since then, we have decreased prices 7 times and only increased once, still achieving a significantly cheaper price over time.

  • #5 Does Ostrom offer risk-free, flexible, monthly cancellable contracts?
    Decorative graphic

    Yes! Both our SimplyFair and SimplyDynamic tariffs do not have the typical 12- or 24-month minimum contract periods like every other provider. We want you to stay because you want to, not because you have to.
